Does Your Car Fit?

Driving safely isn’t just about keeping within the speed limit and signaling turns. It’s also about how well the car fits the driver.

Get your car in shape at a free CarFit checkup. A trained volunteer technician can help you make sure rearview mirrors are properly adjusted, pedals are within easy reach and you can see over the steering wheel. The technician will not make any changes to your vehicle, but may recommend some adjustments. The checkup takes about 20 minutes.
